Together with UC Crew, dancers from Utrecht, we travelled to Marrakech to capture the raw, expressive power of breaking. Over the course of a few intense days, we filmed moments of movement, struggle, and pride: showing how dance continues to serve as a universal language of resilience, identity, and connection. The streets of Marrakech became our stage, where local dancers and international voices came together to share stories of youth, hope, and unity.

But our collaboration went beyond the camera. Together with UC Crew, we designed a limited series of custom Nowruz x UC Crew shirts, each piece representing solidarity with Palestine. Through this project, we aim to support not only the local dance communities but also amplify voices that use art as resistance, especially the youth of Gaza.

That’s why the proceeds from these shirts will be donated to Camps Breakers and Gaza Skate Team. Their work is a lifeline for many young people living under occupation. Through this collaboration, we want to send more than money—we want to send a message: you are seen, and you are not alone.

Large white text reads 'ROSES' and smaller text says 'FOR PALI.' Additional text in the upper left corner mentions a campaign for Palestine with proceeds going to Gaza.
